My private interests: my family (Ulrike, my mother Ingrid and the — already grown up — 'kids') doing music on the electric guitar using the computer as a backing band, see below programming (typically music related or simple games), see below promoting good programming languages (like Ada, or Eiffel) using TeX and LaTeX impersonating Mr Spock doing projects in the fantastic Fischertechnik construction system Professional: I am currently working for the IT of the city of Munich as an IT architect. Formerly I worked for sd&m/Capgemini for more than twenty years as a principal IT consultant for specification and software architecture. Misc: I used to give lectures in Computer Science at the Polytechnical University in Munich (Hochschule München). If you're interested in course material, have a look here.
